5dMark iii release date?

[vision_filmz]

Looks like I am going to be upgrading and want to know when it is coming out? I see pre-orders but no release date.

End of month.

"I have confirmed March 22, 2012 as the for sale date in both Canada and the United States. Cameras will arrive before that date to retailers, but cannot be sold until then." From canonrumors.com

For what it's worth, B&H charged my credit card for my MkIII pre-order I think a couple of days ago. They're supposed to only charge you at time of shipment, so, you know...

Edit: Contacted B&H sales rep. Says you're charged at time of order, rather than at time of shipping, despite what it says on the website (!). Grr. Sorry if I got anyone overexcited...

I got a call from Beau photo in Vancouver. They were told to expect the first cameras next week but they will be embargoed till the 22nd. So can I play with my new camera in shop? That's my next question. I do love the short wait time from release. It use to be months sometimes.
